Of God and Rocks

August 5, 2009 – The logic of a five year, especially in the field of theology and geology is fascinating! As we hiked the beautiful Multnomah Falls in the Columbia Gorge, Cal asked the question, “Is God in the rocks?” Austin, possessing vastly more patience than I replied, “Yes! God is in everything…in fact God is a rock.” Cal thought for a moment and said he did not believe that God is in the rocks because he cracked one open once and it was smooth inside (apparently God is rougher). He went on to ask, “Do we eat rocks?” We both assured him only if times get tough. He said, “…then God is not in your tumack, because if He is in rocks and you don’t eat rocks, then He’s not in your tumack. So he’s NOT in everything.” Tough to refute, that one…

Cal saw his first waterfall that day (as shown in picture!), and got to walk behind one (Ponytail Falls). He was rapturous at the experience.
